Is he the highest salary NBA player now?
That answer was unexpected 💪🏾💪🏾 he bodied it
Y’all not making it past 2nd round
I was expecting the answer to be: hookers and cocaine
Brown for president!
Congrats, JB. You continue to put the work in and the benefits and blessings will come. Keep going and it shows how much the Celtics organization trusts and believes in him.
I hate it when dudes get rich, then try to reinvent the wheel like they are suddenly a political and economic genius. No, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're just another rich dude sounding like a silicon valley tech bro trying to reinvent the bus 🚌 😂.
The things we need to create a more equitable society are political problems, not economic ones. Boston is perfectly rich enough to not have massive wealth inequality, but that's the feature, not the bug; it's intentional, and until we dismantle those systems, everything else is a waste of time.
This is the exact type of dude that speaks on issues, donates a lot, but probably votes republican for tax reasons.
Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊
He and tatum never works at all Celtics wastinh money
Smart young man
His last name should be SMART 🤣
I’m sure Tatum isn’t happy about this.
The fact I don’t have a problem with HIM getting the first $300M plus contract in NBA history is this dude is so smart, driven and a leader in his community. Boston should be proud of him the fans are tough and have a sketchy history but glad the front office did the right thing 💰💰 👏🏾👏🏾
Giving the richest contract in nba history to a second to third option that isn't a top 15 player and only a 2 time all star in 7 seasons is peak ineptitude, they will surely regret it, especially since they'll have to give tatum a supermax too
Cant even dribble left but I he richest… League is wild
This was an unfortunate signing. Its hard to cheer for a black supremacist that makes everything a racial issue. Jaylen is so woke he actually believes black people deserve special treatment rather than equality. I hope jaylen grows out of the liberal racism to become an actual community leader of boston, rather than the community leader of blacks.
Wow. His answers really impressed me. This is my first time hearing him speak.
Very intelligent and genuine.
How could you hate on Jaylen man. Hardworking, well spoken, and just an overall great individual
Bigger then basketball I love it
Hearing him talk about what he plan on doing with the money makes me happy he got the deal . He not only thinking of himself
How can you not like the guy honestly like that money is going to go a far lot longer for a lot more people than it would if it was given to lots of other people
300 million for a role star player lol
Jaylen Brown DESERVES EVERY PENNY.
Remember this Jaylen Brown not enter his PRIME & every year improve his GAME
It's like helping only your race is acceptable and then on the other hand accuse white people of being racist. Makes no sense to me. Shouldn't you help all people if you can? No it's just his race he wants to make a difference. It's hypocritical
Couldn't be more proud! He need his own franchise, he's a real leader
Rich people are clapping because one guy cannot do anything. This is ideology that helps the rich. Wage society is wage society.
Okay, I did not expect that answer from him but that’s a great plan he got there. He’s really thought this through and hopefully he can stay long enough in Boston to see his project cole to fruition
He always speaks eloquently. Genuinely seems like a guy who cares.
Okuuurrr Jaylen 👏👏👏👏
Black Wall Street. God bless your heart
This is how our ancestors taught us to survive. When Harriet Tubman,Fredrick Douglas and others made through their bondage they reached back. I have nothing but love,respect and admiration for Jaylen. Congratulations.
Congratulations! But I have a very good feeling that Celtics are going to trade JB to Portland for Dame!!! Now the contracts match up properly for a JB & Dame swap!!!
Real mf ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Jalen aint worth that contract
Last year I paid 58k for a car that was only worth 20k and was so happy about it I held a press conference even though I don't have enough money left to buy a new snow blower. I'm hoping the overpriced car can pitch in and help with the snow.
Building his community is the first thing out of his mouth 💪🏾💯🔥
Don’t know how you can pay him when he’s not even the best player on his team.
In 10 years a superstar can make a billion dollars playing only 15 years 😮
Good for him, but if i'm the gm … nevermind
304 million dollars and no rings him and Tatum are trash in the postseason
He's not worth it..
just play basketball dude
“I needed to get this done before I request this trade.” Nah, I’m happy for JB. Seems like a well spoken and deserving guy
Big money, nice words.
